I want to show company name in code word like Dell Computers = DC , but getting error in concatenating string.
string str = txtCompanyname.Text.Trim();
string[] output = str.Split(' ');
foreach (string s in output)
{
// Console.Write(s[0] + " ");
Response.Write(s[0]);
string newid += s[0].ToString();//getting error here
}
Define NewID outside the foreach loop. You can't define and assign the variable at the same time.
string str = txtCompanyname.Text.Trim();
string[] output = str.Split(' ');
string newid= string.empty;
foreach (string s in output)
{
// Console.Write(s[0] + " ");
Response.Write(s[0]);
newid += s[0].ToString();//getting error here
}
string str = txtCompanyname.Text.Trim();
string[] output = str.Split(' ');
foreach (string s in output)
{
Response.Write(s);
string newid += s;
}
You can do it using linq.
Just split the full name and select first character of every part;
string str = "Dell Computers";
var abbr = new string(str.Split(new[] {' '}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
.Select(x => char.ToUpper(x[0]))
.ToArray());
You can use LINQ to do this:
public string FirstLetters(string s)
{
return String.Join("", s.Trim().Split(' ').Select(w => w.Substring(0, 1).ToUpper()));
}
var result = FirstLetter(txtCompanyname.Text);
This code does the following:
